This week I’m sharing a hand from a $1,500 buy-in World Series of Poker event from last summer. This one comes from relatively early in the tournament and finds me playing from the button against two players in the blinds who were both generally tight and passive.
As I mention at the start of the video, being tight and passive and playing a very straightforward game is not typically the way to win at poker. Playing such a style prevents you from winning by stealing pots that don’t belong to you, and it also prevents you from getting full value when you do pick up those good hands.
